Chengdu Zoo in Sichuan ran a tiger-escape drill a couple of days ago, so that people would know what to do in case one broke out of its enclosure. For maximum realism, security guards were given real guns, and the ‘tiger’ was a dude in a Tigger costume. You know, From Winnie the Pooh.
The basic lesson here seemed to be that, instead of running away or finding somewhere safe to be with your loved ones, the preferred means of dealing with escaped tigers is to stand around holding a broom, poke the tiger with sticks if possible, and then bear it away on a stretcher.
In case you were wondering.
